Rubbish, you think everyone is a lowlife achiever like you.

Because at 32 you are still writing JAMB, you think everyone is like you.

Its a Grade 1 court for God's sake, any young Lawyer can handle it.

I guess it's more like the same way NYSC doctors are medical directors of primary health centres. No wonder, cos I felt he was too young to be a judge.
May his soul rest in peace.

Point to me in that article where Biafra is mentioned.

What is in the article is the voice of Igbo Muslim, different from Biafrans. Igbo Muslim will inherit leadership of SE in next 10yrs. We are commited to bring it into fruition.

In fact, you are now banned from marrying any Igbo muslim girl.

We will bring muslim men from other parts to marry them in pairs so we can accelerate a population change in your land.

It seems you don't understand that when an Igbo woman marries, she ceases to belong to her family but to the family that marries her.
If you bring 1000 Yoruba Muslim to marry 1000 Igbo Muslim girls, all their children will automatically become Yoruba. Hope you also remember Igbo women don't inherit land in Igbo land.

SmartMugu:
Freeze made this happen. Why would a few live lavish lifestyls while some members of their congregation can't even afford meals for their families on festive periods? Spread the money around, afterall its the same people that pay for your livestyles. Must they all wait till one trumpet blows before they can eat while some of una dey drive Bentleys, Ferraris and private jets here on earth? Abegi!!!

Please you guys should stop all these.
The church has been involved in charity work since time immemorial. They just don't announce it. That's what Jesus advised. There is no way you will know how much Oyedepo, Adeboye etc give to charity cos they do it secretly. Men like Freeze will make you feel the church never did all those things, and whenever you see such activities on SM, you give the credit to Freeze. Please stop it. It's unfair to the church.

Are the looters not there in Nigeria to steal every day? Supporter of stealing is not corruption. You and Obi should hide your face in shame, because you are planning to take us back where stealing is not corruption

So, for how long are you going to close the shop? Perhaps you keep it shut forever? How will you make sales?
If you keep the shop running and employ extra security, you can prevent the looters from emptying the shop. How would they empty the shop when your watchful eyes are on your inventory?

senatordave1:
While pdp is focused on this debate,apc is quietly upstaging pdp every where.

Well, there's really nothing new PDP can do. It's left for the voters to decide whether to allow Buhari to continue or to try Atiku. Either way, there will be consequences – good and bad.

And our governors for south south dey dey shout say north is our problem yet the little one de get, de cant put it to good use. look @ my state governor dickson, owing workers lots of arrears, quack roads everywhere in bayelsa yet they are shouting restructuring. He was given billions of naira from paris fund, d idiot had the gut to say he will pay only 2 months arrears and not like we are having any meaningful project in dat state. The northern leaders upon their corruption try to build good roads for her ppl. shame to south south governors. let me hear any south south politician talk of niger delta marginalisation, na thunder go fire m

I still can't understand why southern governors are so terrible with infrastructural projects. Is there any explanation for it?

Women wearing their engagement rings after wedding is a recent fashion phenomenon. The ideal situation is for these engagement ring to be kept away after the wedding and handed over to their son as a family heirloom. The son decides if he's going to use it to engage his wife or if he will get a new one for her

Alright! Thanks for the info. Never heard it before.

airsaylongcon:
First time I see someone state correctly that engagement rings are worn on the ring finger. However it is only a fad that women wear their engagement rings after weddings. Ideally they should be kept away as part of the family heir loom passed on to the new wife married into the family

I really don't understand the point you made which I italicised. Could you explain better?
Yeah, I normally feel uncomfortable when I see people wear or put engagement rings on middle fingers. It just doesn't look right, and isn't right.

FatherCHRISTMAS:
If it's pre-wedding, why iS she wearing a wedding ring and the dude is not ? In this picture her mouth con be lyk say she wann swallow the guy destiny

That's an engagement ring.
Engagement rings have pendants, while wedding rings are just like bands (just like what men wear). Before wedding, a woman wears only the engagement ring on the ring finger. After wedding, she wears both engagement and wedding rings, but the wedding ring/band goes in first (is closer to the heart) before the engagement ring. In some cases, both rings are fitted together into one unit, but when you examine it closely, you can differentiate between the wedding band and engagement ring.

zlantanfan:
Is saraki no longer a member of the Nigeria government that can represent in official capacity, what is this pettiness about?

When last did you hear that Saraki represented Buhari in any event?

fowlyansh181:
You wanna know why I know Nigeria will never be great , never.. normal human beings are supposed to see this pictures, feel really bad, call out the judiciary, the state government and federal government, and get them to fix up this and get things working, but no, the Igbos are attacking the yourubas, claiming the court house is better than their own houses, while the yourubas as well are attacking the Igbo , as if the tribe itself should build the court house? .. with these comments the people responsible just look and laugh and by tomorrow everything is forgotten and nothing changes .. tribalism is Nigeria’s biggest problem not corruption

Why didn't the person that posted it on Twitter include the location of the court? Is Eastern Nigeria a state or town? Is there any proof that that court is still in use?
What if a new Court has been built just beside it and this one has been abandoned?
If you have been to Anambra State for example, and seen the quality of houses even in rural areas, you will doubt the veracity of the op's claim.

KingAzari:
You can never find Atiku(Fraud) and Integrity(PMB) at the same place at the same time.

Argue with your smelling nyash.

Wow! Where is your reasoning bro? Is it the same Atiku that worked with Buhari all the way from 2014 till 2018 you're referring to or another Atiku?
Use your sense, man!

Okoyeeboz:
Lmaooooo

This useless pig is already frustrated at the prospect of losing.

Let me tell you the fact, the SW would never join useless bastards like Daniel and akotiletas like Fayose to vote Obi.

Osinbajo would help Buhari win in the SW and the gap would be wide. We are waiting for Atiku to release money so they we can eat his money and then vote Buhari.

As for your insults, print them out and hand them over to your father. They are more appropriate for him.

Stop all the bragging. South West never wins elections for any party in Nigeria. North Central decides the victory. You think it's ur miserly 55% that took Buhari to Aso Rock in 2015?
Buhari will win the SW again in 2019 no doubt, but his margin of win (in the SW) won't be what will give him victory (if he's going to carry the day).

I can't see any pothole on that road.
Careless driving and riding seem to cause more death on Nigerian roads than the bad roads themselves.
May his soul rest in peace.

dumahi:
Do you ever listen to yourself while talking or typing? You've just said the PRESIDENCY should go to South West as you have adopted ATIKU? So, you are supporting someone to be president but want the presidency to go elsewhere? Well, I understand what you meant to say, but you ended up saying something else. Now, instead of working on this obvious lack of yours, you will begin to rant in defence of it but I won't reply.

Was his point too difficult for you to understand that you had to write that epistle?
He was only saying that Igbos won't back down on their support for Atiku even if it will mean them losing out to APC and power returning to the SW by 2023. In essence, the lust for presidency in 2023 isn't enough to make Igbos vote for Buhari.

MrSix:
Is Obasanjo being polite?
He wrote ill of Atiku in his "my watch" and suddenly, Atiku is the man.

It shows that as bad as he felt Atiku was, Buhari is much worse, as far as protecting the interest of Nigeria is concerned. It's a case of choosing a lesser evil.

Oh my bad! I get it. I didn't take note of the point in bold. It's most likely frequency she has.
It's still a sign of bladder irritation

Good morning fellow Nairalanders....
I started experiencing frequent urination while in secondary school( I'm now a University graduate)
I have done FBS: 79 mg/dl
I have the feeling to urinate after every one hour but I can delay to pee if I want
I don't experience painful urination
This frequent urination occurs during the day( I wake up just once at night to pee)
I'm not sexually-active
I'm 25 years old
Please what else should I do?
Please moderators, help me move this to front-page

Go and meet a urologist. You have urinary frequency, and it results from overactive urinary bladder. Nairaland is not the best place to get proper medical advice.

Corrinthians:
This us terrible.

Yet some people are busy giving the renown criminal the highest chieftaincy title in their land.

Pathetic!

And you just found a way to rope Igbos into this. You're pathetic! #Spits

Igbo People are Outstanding tribe in Nigeria. You hardly see such wickedness in Ala Igbo. We may quarrel but when both kindred steps in, matters are handled maturely.

Ever heard of Aguleri and Umuleri war of the 90s?

olawooro:
Keep deceiving yourself.

Many so called pastor will soon go out of business when people are not paying tithe anymore. It is a matter of time

It's not true. Pastors that have the word of truth don't beg people to give. People long for every opportunity to give to them.

olawooro:
This particular banner, what does it represent?

Come on! You can't say there is an aggressive campaign for tithing simply because you saw a banner in one out of thousands of RCCG parishes.
That statement isn't a new thing. I have heard a story of one of the people who had a revelation of heaven (I think she died and was taken to heaven) where she said that people who don't give their tithes are considered as armed robbers in heaven. I heard this over 5 years ago. Don't ask me about that. I didn't see the revelation by myself, so I can't verify that.
Moreover, the content of the banner is from the Bible. You can argue that the interpretation could be different, but it's a verse of the Bible they based it on.

olawooro:
Instead for the church to be aggressive in evangelism, in warning the sinners, murderers, treasury looters, robbers, kidnappers, ritualists, it is rather very aggressive in campaigning for tithe payment.

It's not true. There is no aggressive campaign for tithe payment. It's the online attacks by people like Freeze that makes it seem like there is an aggressive mobilisation for tithers.
The message of righteousness is being preached massively, these churches still carry out missions and outreaches to very remote areas, but you won't see such on the social media. Even their numerous projects for the poor will often go unannounced. That is the strategy of the devil. The same Freeze that always attacks Adeboye when he shows any sign of flamboyance kept mute when he was shown worshiping with a small, rural church. There are many more of such you won't see on the social media.

olawale780:
If u are looking it in that way, what about countries that do not have churches and are very rich?

linearity:
If it is a zero sum gain as you put it above, why are the Pastors attacking him and some even cursing him out?

Yes, 10% to the very poor could mean the difference between putting one square meal on the table or going to bed hungry....it could make the difference between providing school uniform for your kids or them going to school in rags.

Prosperity preaching have no root in Bible...the riches countries in the world and even the riches man in the world does not tithe a penny to God and still get blessed Him abundantly and put him on Forbes....whereas the poor in Africa who still give their widow’s mint tithe are not any better poverty wise, year-in and year-out.

Freiden:
And if you think those who stopped paying tithes are cursed or have become poorer, you need to wake up. We are not getting any poorer...like your pastors promised us. I for one, I have never paid tithe in my life, and I have been blessed beyond measure. How then do you proof to me that tithing is what makes people rich

HeyCorleone:
Of course.

Also questions like "how come some people who don't believe in God are rich while some of His faithful adherents are stony broke?".

It shows you the fairness with which God distributes wealth.

Therefore it is dubitable, that God blesses you more because you tithe.

Now, here's what I believe.
Giving offerings or paying tithe isn't what makes anyone rich. There are principles of wealth creation that if anybody applies, they can be rich. There are more atheists and unbelievers who are rich than there are Christians. Just the same way the sun shines and the rain falls both on Christians and unbelievers, that's how wealth is.

Giving to God is mandatory for every believer. One of the ways we prove our love for God is by our giving. God so loved the world that He gave... When we love, we also give. The church of God truly needs money to operate. The problem comes when the money coming in is more than what that church needs for their basic operations. That's where many pastors start failing cos they do not realise that the excess coming into the church should be for the benefit of the entire church not just for them. Will I say I should stop giving because some pastors don't manage the extra very well? No, cos if we stop giving to the church, the work of God will be crippled. I am mainly talking about churches where Christ is the central focus. Of course some so called churches are pure business centres. I don't have any business with such.

A true believer that is walking with God knows that all his money belongs to God. Those referring to the early Church where tithe wasn't paid should remember that those believers then gave their ALL. People sold off ALL their entire possessions and brought the money to the church. How many of us can do that today? The church then had enough funds because people sold off everything they had, brought the money to the church and believers' needs were easily provided for. That method can't work in today's world, just like we can't expect people to sell all they have. That's why giving 10% of your income should be the least every believer should do for the sake of the body of Christ. Some people with greater understanding even give more than 10% regularly. The point is that part of your earnings should be dedicated to God.
Where I have a problem with many pastors is their thinking that the whole tithe belongs to them alone. The money shouldn't ideally be for the GO or the pastors alone, but for the benefit of all the believers in need.

As for me, I am not poor by the grace of God. I still have more than enough after giving my 10%, so I will continue to give it. Sometimes I give it to missionaries, but that's the farthest I can go with it. From the 90% I have left, I still have enough to support the less privileged around me, which I do occasionally.
As for pastors that misappropriate the church's money, it's not for me to judge, neither will I stop giving because of them. God will judge that ultimately.

Freiden:
Wrong!!! He's trying to make people see how they've been used and manipulated in the name of God. With his help, many people have been enlightened.

So are those enlightened people now richer since they stopped giving their 10% to the church? Is the church poorer now that many people have been enlightened and have stopped giving?
These are some of the questions you should ask yourself.

Ignoramous go and read the Constitution of the Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended,the welfare of the people is the responsibility of the States they reside in,not the president,the provisions of the constitution is supreme,knowledge is power? no Knowledge is king,study to find yourself approved.

Oga, you don't have to insult me na. Can't you engage in a civil discussion without throwing insults?

You said the welfare of the people is the responsibility of the states, but you have forgotten that the FG controls the police (and even the military). Often times we've heard governors complain of calling the IGP or even presidency when they got warnings regarding crisis, yet nothing happened. We've seen the police get involved in partisan issues in states and the governors are helpless, as it is happening in Akwa Ibom.

If the FG does not provide an enabling environment for states to carry on their activities, there is very little they can do.

Look my brother, Nigeria needs to seat up, yes PDP might pay subsidy to make fuel cost less, they might give out our forex so that we can import almost everything, they might open the border so that expired rice and turkey can cheaply flood our market.. But you know what? Their would never be a completed project or meaningful development with such chop make I chop model of government

The main reason why I am against Buhari is that his government reeks of injustice: against Igbos, against his political opponents and against Northern minority Christians. He's not a fair President by any standard.
I can tell you categorically that if Buhari had been fair and just to all Nigerians from the beginning of his administration, the opposition to his 2nd term bid would have been nearly non-existent.

Talking about completion of projects, it depends on your view point. If Jonathan government had remained in power after 2015, he would have completed all the rail projects so far commissioned by Buhari. Even before his handover, most of them had gone over 70-80% completed. If Buhari loses out next year, it is the next president that will commission Lagos-Ibadan rail project. That's how it goes. But mind you that the 12 new universities built by Jonathan were completed (at least to the level in which they could kick-start their programmes) before the end of his tenure.
